As this is a remaster the graphics have been touched up and I have to say they look really good. The setting is war-torn Europe so nothing here looks pretty but you can definitely admire the work the developers put in to design the various ruined towns and buildings that you travel through. While the game does still look somewhat dated compared to modern titles I feel that the character animations and the areas you travel through were definitely given enough attention and detail. Engine performance was solid I didnât encounter any skips or lagging.
No major issues with audio for me and the music was âfineâ. Occasionally increasing the intensity of some of the sniping at moments or the intense combat you would occasionally engage in. The voice acting was decent the characters seem to fit with the voices they were given. The only disruptive part of that was the soldiers would repeat a limited number of lines over and over and sometimes that could be a bit distracting.
For me personally the replay value would be somewhat low. I enjoyed the sniping moments and the mechanics involved in that but the AI was just too dodgy for me. For those who want to engage in some sniping moments not offered by other games this may have more replay ability. Also for those who are completionists going through each level and finding the gold bars and wine bottles would also encourage some replay ability.
I have to admit that this game did give me an interest in playing as a sniper. However again I had some serious issues with the AI of the enemies. I thought the story line was solid, the fact that they gave you some freedom in how to accomplish most parts of the missions was appreciated. The best part of the game for me was the X-ray and bullet following view when pulling off a successful sniper shot. A lot of people might find it a bit graphic as it definitely didnât shy away from showing bullet entry and shattering bones. Watching your shot leave the gun and follow it as it hit its Target sometimes even passing through to hit another Target or hitting grenades on the target and causing those to explodes can be rather rewarding.
